What happens when two friends with the same name tackle bizarre food combinations and debate the perfect pizza? Pure podcast magic.
This episode begins with a taste-testing adventure sampling the questionable limited-edition Beer Can Chicken flavored Pringles that leave one Nora gagging while the other surprisingly doesn't mind the bouillon-cube-like flavor. They follow this culinary experiment with Sprite mixed with iced tea—a strange beverage that separates in your mouth, hitting you with fizzy lemon-lime before transforming into tea. This leads them down a rabbit hole of unusual food trends, including the emergence of cereal milk cocktails where bartenders are infusing spirits with everything from Captain Crunch to Fruity Pebbles.
The conversation shifts to our mutual love of pizza, where we discover that 21% of Americans consider it their favorite food. We dive deep into regional styles—from the crispy, square-cut Chicago thin crust to foldable New York slices and artisanal wood-fired options. Personal preferences emerge: one of us orders "easy cheese" while the other draws a firm line at Hawaiian pizza ("Keep your fruit away from my pizza!"). We explore pizza's humble beginnings among Naples' working poor in the 17th century, trace its journey to America's first pizzeria in 1905, and share the surprising fact that pizza has even made it to space.
Whether you're a foodie, a parent, or just someone who appreciates authentic conversation, join us as we find humor, comfort, and friendship in life's small moments—and debate whether cold pizza for breakfast is genius or sacrilege.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
